Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've been a little busy. Hope ya'll understand.The one thing I hate about comics is that they tend to undo the big changes in the comics about a year or two later, making them mostly pointless. Which is why I like movies/cartoons more.

I say who cares if it's a good story then so what? I feel like people who complain about continuity change are just annoyed because they can't spout out facts to sound smart, a good story is a good story. I'm just saying you're missing out on some really awesome stories if you don't read the comics. Green lantern is so much cooler and better written in comics than he is in other media

Yog, I do feel that DC is trying to be different in that manner. Because yeah Marvel's heroes are pretty monochromatic in the MCU but if all the casting rumors are true DC is going the exact opposite direction which I applaud really. They confirmed Cyborg to be in and having Steel or Black Lightning show up eventually would be a treat. I wouldn't be surprised if they got John Stewart or Simon Baz to be the movie Lantern and had Ryan Choi or Rhonda Pineda to be the Atom (minus the whole traitor thing with Rhonda). I wouldn't even be surprised if they changed the appearance of other characters like Hawkman and Hawkgirl despite their traditional portrayals. J'onn is commonly portrayed as a black man in human form too. Krein, Which is interesting considering Marvel is generally considered the more "grounded" of the two in the comics.

I actually really want Hal Jordan to be Green Lantern in the cinematic universe, John is but Hal has the best characterization out all of the earth green lanterns. In my opinion they should use all of them at some point in the film series

It really does. They're pushing the grittier, more realistic superhero movies while Marvel is going with the more comedic, more fantasy driven superheroes.

I wouldn't call it fantasy since most of the Marvel movies are sci fi. Also DC is doing Shazam and Justice League dark so I think DC will beat Marvel to introducing magic, I wouldn't call the DC cinematic universe gritty, it's realistic in how people react to the fantastical

Titans of Earth

so what's going on right now in the rp?

Oh well that's just the remnants of my tumblr trolling days :P Yeah I guess those are much better. Though you can see this happening with DC since they have an Israeli woman playing Wonder Woman and rumors that Jason Mamoa and Dwayne Johnson will play Aquaman and Shazam respectively. I also heard the rumor that Flash would be Hispanic, so diversity in the Justice League Dark movie isn't out of the question.

Thanks to Facebook pages, I will never go on Tumblr because a lot crazy and idotic stuff is said on that site and pages on Facebook post about it constantly, and I already get enough of that on Facebook.

Wonder Woman makes since, I mean come on, how can a woman who comes from an island in the Mediterranean sea have an American accent? The same can go for Aquaman and Shazam, especially since Dwayne Johnson was Hercules in a movie this summer and Captain Marvel is inspired off of Greek mythology.

does it feel like DC is trying to do things very different from Marvel? I mean most of Marvel's main heroes are not very diverse unless you include aliens as being diverse.

Hot Rod arm was hurting from the collision with Vacuum and he hoped that he hadn't dislocated it. When he saw Killjoy and her striking pose, he rolled his eyes. Here they were in the middle of a giant battle with all sorts crazies and monsters causing chaos and she was acting like this was a fun game. Hot Rod had an ego but when things got serious, he did too.

"Focus on the battle, and the next to point a gun at inmate to kill him, I'll relieve you of your weapon, try not to kill unless you absolutely have to" He said to her firmly. He was one hero who hated killing criminals and didn't think anyone who killed should be called a hero. Heroes were more than just people with powers, they are symbols to which humanity can aspire to and lead them out of the darkness.

Ocean Warrior listened to Chris tell him her real name, when he heard her do that, Finn was almost sure that she must be a trusting person to give him information like that. In his experience, heroes that are trusting are usually easier to work with. Normally he wouldn't give away his secret identity but he decided to with Chris.

"My name Finnix but you can call me Ocean Warrior while we're in the field.Break Neck sounds fitting for a speedster, but if you don't mind me saying this, the name also sounds like it could be used to make a lot of jokes" he told. He was being honest when said this, and he out of most heroes he knew understood what it was like to be the but of many jokes.

Yog, I hope the Justice League Dark movie is in the same continuity as Man of Steel. Be way easier for DC to build a shared universe that way. Of course I'm hoping Doctor Fate and Zatanna would be in it. And I'd want them to be played by more POC actors too, Arabic for Doctor Fate and more Italian for Zatanna.

That would be interesting. just a side note, I'm not really a fan of the term POC because it sounds like a very simplistic blanket term for other ethnics and some can get offended by being lumped together into one group. I prefer the term diversity or multi-ethnic.
